When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
You must be joking, that’s 71 years ago. We weren’t that advanced in those days to have any knowledge of what sort of opportunities were even out there at the age of 5. No social media, one tv channel.
If I had been aware I would have realised it was a patriarchal society and as a female I would have be expected to get married and have a brood of kids.
Thankfully things did change but I was well into my twenties when I realised I had missed out on a lot of career opportunities.
However I was ambitious and carved out a successful life.
